--max-views COUNT Do not download any videos with more than
137
--match-filter FILTER (Experimental) Generic video filter.
138
Specify any key (see help for -o for a list
139
of available keys) to match if the key is
140
present, !key to check if the key is not
141
present,key > NUMBER (like "comment_count >
142
12", also works with >=, <, <=, !=, =) to
143
compare against a number, and & to require
144
multiple matches. Values which are not
145
known are excluded unless you put a
146
question mark (?) after the operator.For
147
example, to only match videos that have
148
been liked more than 100 times and disliked
149
less than 50 times (or the dislike
150
functionality is not available at the given
151
service), but who also have a description,
152
use --match-filter "like_count > 100 &
153
dislike_count <? 50 & description" .
136
154
--no-playlist If the URL refers to a video and a
137
155
playlist, download only the video.
156
--yes-playlist If the URL refers to a video and a
157
playlist, download the playlist.
138
158
--age-limit YEARS download only videos suitable for the given

--download-archive FILE Download only videos not listed in the
159
179
--playlist-reverse Download playlist videos in reverse order

181
ytdl.filesize with expected filesize
182
--hls-prefer-native (experimental) Use the native HLS
183
downloader instead of ffmpeg.
162
184
--external-downloader COMMAND (experimental) Use the specified external
163
185
downloader. Currently supports
318
340
video results by putting a condition in
319
341
brackets, as in -f "best[height=720]" (or
320
342
-f "[filesize>10M]"). This works for
321
filesize, height, width, tbr, abr, vbr, and
322
fps and the comparisons <, <=, >, >=, =, !=
323
. Formats for which the value is not known
324
are excluded unless you put a question mark
325
(?) after the operator. You can combine
326
format filters, so -f "[height <=?
327
720][tbr>500]" selects up to 720p videos
328
(or videos where the height is not known)
329
with a bitrate of at least 500 KBit/s. By
330
default, youtube-dl will pick the best
331
quality. Use commas to download multiple
332
audio formats, such as -f
343
filesize, height, width, tbr, abr, vbr,
344
asr, and fps and the comparisons <, <=, >,
345
>=, =, != and for ext, acodec, vcodec,
346
container, and protocol and the comparisons
347
=, != . Formats for which the value is not
348
known are excluded unless you put a
349
question mark (?) after the operator. You
350
can combine format filters, so -f "[height
351
<=? 720][tbr>500]" selects up to 720p
352
videos (or videos where the height is not
353
known) with a bitrate of at least 500
354
KBit/s. By default, youtube-dl will pick
355
the best quality. Use commas to download
356
multiple audio formats, such as -f
333
357
136/137/mp4/bestvideo,140/m4a/bestaudio.
334
358
You can merge the video and audio of two
335
359
formats into a single file using -f <video-

--exec CMD Execute a command on the file after
413
440
downloading, similar to find's -exec
414

syntax. Example: --exec 'adb push {}

/sdcard/Music/ && rm {}'

For one, have a look at the list of supported sites. Note that it can
685
720
sometimes happen that the site changes its URL scheme (say, from
686
http://example.com/v/1234567 to http://example.com/v/1234567 ) and
721
http://example.com/video/1234567 to http://example.com/v/1234567 ) and
687
722
youtube-dl reports an URL of a service in that list as unsupported. In
688
723
that case, simply report a bug.
